The Delivery Status sync site now includes links to your tracking pages!

Posted June 27th, 2009 by Mike Piontek / Mac OS X, iPhone and iPod touch

If you log into our Delivery Status sync site on your computer, you will now see tracking links for your deliveries. Just click the tracking number (or item name) and the tracking page will open in a new window. With a couple of services it’s not possible to link directly to the results, but it will work as expected in most cases.

I can’t say I have any more free time these days, but I have learned a few things that made updating these pretty simple—so I decided to spend a day on it. What do they do? Pretty simple really: just click once to turn Bluetooth… Read more »
